The IFP in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature applauds the bold, principled, and visionary leadership displayed by the KwaZulu-Natal Premier, Honourable Thami Ntuli, in making it clear that Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi must remain in KwaZulu-Natal to continue his sterling work as Provincial Police Commissioner.
While no final decision has yet been made regarding the extension of Lt General Mkhwanazi’s contract, Premier Ntuli’s public stance sends a powerful and reassuring message: KwaZulu-Natal cannot, and must not, lose one of its most competent, fearless, and results-driven senior police officers. In taking this decisive position, the Premier has shown exceptional foresight, unwavering commitment to public safety, and a deep understanding of the province’s security needs.
Lt General Mkhwanazi has repeatedly proven that he can navigate the most dangerous and treacherous challenges. Like a skilled swimmer in infested crocodile rivers, he confronts peril head-on, navigating the deadly currents of crime with courage, integrity, and unyielding determination. His hands-on, no-nonsense approach has earned him the admiration and confidence of both the public and his peers, and has sent a clear message to criminals that KwaZulu-Natal will not tolerate lawlessness.
Premier Ntuli’s unwavering support for retaining such a valuable law enforcement leader underscores his own commitment to excellence, continuity, and results-driven governance. At a time when the province faces serious criminal challenges, his stance demonstrates that he is a leader who prioritises the safety, dignity, and security of the people above all else.
The IFP welcomes the Premier’s position and calls on all stakeholders to recognise the critical importance of retaining exceptional leadership in policing. KwaZulu-Natal cannot afford to lose a jewel like Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi—an officer whose integrity, courage, and relentless pursuit of justice continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of communities across the province.
We further emphasise that success in eradicating crime depends not only on strong leadership but also on adequate resourcing, active community participation, and a professional, disciplined police service guided by integrity. Premier Ntuli’s decisive stance ensures that KwaZulu-Natal maintains momentum in restoring safety, confidence, and hope to communities, while setting a high standard for law enforcement leadership across the nation.
